BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a display device, and more particularly, to a display device having a touch screen panel.

2. Discussion of the Related Art

An interface between the display devices and a user is generally configured using various input devices such as a keyboard, a mouse, a trackball, a joystick and a digitizer. However, the user has to learn how to use the input devices and the input device occupies a separate space. As a result, the display device using the separate input devices is inconvenient in view of customer satisfaction. Thus, a demand for the simple and convenient input devices capable of reducing a malfunction has been increasing day by day. A touch screen panel, through which the user inputs information by directly contacting the screen of the display device with his or her finger or a pen, was proposed to meet the demand.

The touch screen panel is a simple input device capable of reducing the malfunction and can input information without using a separate input device. Further, because the user can easily operate the touch screen panel through the contents displayed on the screen of the touch screen panel, the touch screen panel has been applied to various display devices.

Touch screen panels can be classified into a resistive type touch screen panel, a capacitive type touch screen panel, and an electromagnetic type touch screen panel based on a method for sensing a touched portion of the touch screen panel. The resistive type touch screen panel senses the touched portion by a voltage grade depending on a resistance in a state where a DC voltage is applied to a metal electrode formed on an upper substrate or a lower substrate of the resistive type touch screen panel. The capacitive type touch screen panel senses the touched portion by forming an equipotential surface on a conductive layer and sensing a voltage change location of upper and lower substrates of the capacitive type touch screen panel based on a touch operation. The electromagnetic type touch screen panel senses the touched portion by reading an LC value induced by touching a conductive layer with an electronic pen. Also, an optical type or ultrasonic type touch screen panel are known.

In the resistive type touch screen panel, if a user touches an upper substrate of the touch screen panel, a transparent conductive film of the upper substrate contacts a transparent conductive film of a lower substrate of the touch screen panel. The touch screen panel detects a touched position by sensing an electric potential along an x-axis and an electrical potential along a y-axis generated when the transparent conductive films are contacted with each other. In a resistive type touch screen panel, a more exact touch position can be sensed because the touch position is determined by a physical contact. However, an analog digital converter (ADC) is needed because the touch position is indirectly determined by electrical potentials at x and y axes where the touch is performed. Furthermore, it is difficult to sense the touch position if the user touches the touch screen panel lightly.

On the other hand, the capacitive type touch screen panel has a matrix type electrode patterns in which first electrode patterns arranged in an x-axis direction are intersected with second electrode patterns arranged in a y-axis direction. In the capacitive type touch screen panel, if the user touches an arbitrary position in the matrix type electrode patterns, an electrostatic capacitance between the first and second electrode patterns is changed. The capacitive type touch screen panel detects the position where the electrostatic capacitance is changed. According to the electrostatic capacitance, an exact touch position can be detected even the user touches the touch screen panel lightly.

Hereinafter, a related art capacitive type touch screen panel will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 is a drawing illustrating a related art capacitive type touch screen panel, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a display device using the touch screen panel shown in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the related art capacitive type touch screen panel 10 includes a plurality of first conductive patterns R1, R2, . . . Rn arranged in first direction (for example, a row direction), a plurality of second conductive patterns C1, C2, . . .

Rn, and column driver 12 configured to drive the plurality of second conductive patterns C1, C2, . . . Cm.

The row driver 11 supplies a pulse voltage Vtsp to the plurality of first conductive patterns R1, R2, . . . Rn to scan them. At the scanning operation, the pulse voltage Vtsp is sequentially charged into each of the plurality of first conductive patterns R1, R2, . . . Rn. While any one of the plurality of first conductive patterns R1, R2, . . . Rn is charged with the pulse voltage Vtsp, the row driver 11 supplies a ground voltage GND to others of the first conductive patterns R1, R2, . . . Rn. For example, the row driver 11 supplies a ground voltage GND to the first conductive patterns R1, R2, R4, . . . Rn while the first conductive pattern R3 is charged with the pulse voltage Vtsp as shown in FIG. 1.

The column driver 12 sequentially supplies the pulse voltage Vtsp to the second conductive patterns C1, C2, . . . Cm to scan them after the scanning operation of the plurality of first conductive patterns R1, R2, . . . Rn are completed. At the scanning operation, the pulse voltage Vtsp is sequentially charged into each of the plurality of second conductive patterns C1, C2, . . . Cm. While any one of the plurality of first conductive patterns C1, C2, . . . Cm is charged with the pulse voltage Vtsp, the column driver 12 supplies a ground voltage GND to others of the second conductive patterns C1, C2, . . . Cm. For example, the column driver 12 supplies a ground voltage GND to the second conductive patterns C1, C2, C4, . . . Cm while the second conductive pattern C3 is charged with the pulse voltage Vtsp as shown in FIG. 1.

The touch screen panel 10 shown in FIG. 1 senses a touch position based on a variation of electrostatic capacitance between an initial electrostatic capacitance when the touch screen panel is not touched and a touch electrostatic capacitance when the touch screen panel is touched.

Each of the pixel electrodes is formed in a unit of a liquid crystal cell defined by the intersection of the gate lines and the data lines. Gate signals and data signals are supplied to the gate lines and data lines via gate and data pads from a gate driving part and a data driving part. The thin film transistors supply the data signals from the data lines to the pixel electrodes response to the gate signals supplied to the gate lines.

Between the thin film transistor array substrate 20 and the color filter array substrate 30, the liquid crystal layer 40 is disposed, and on the color filter array substrate 30, the touch screen panel 10 is formed.

In the liquid crystal display device 50, the pulse voltage Vtsp is sequentially applied to the first conductive patterns R1, R2, . . . Rn and second conductive patterns C1, C2, . . . Cm to sense a touch applied to the touch screen panel 10. Accordingly, a parasitic capacitance is generated between the first and second conductive patterns R1, R2, . . . Rn and C1, C2, . . . Cm and the common electrode 37 of the color filter array substrate 30. The parasitic capacitance is obtained according to the following equation.

C _(T-V)=εε_(o) A/D

In the equation, “C_(T-V)” represents the parasitic capacitance generated between the first and second conductive patterns R1, R2, . . . Rn and C1, C2, . . .

The backlight unit BLU may be implemented by a direct type or an edge type. The backlight unit includes at least one among HCFL (hot cathode fluorescent lamp), CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp), EEFL (external electrode fluorescent lamp), and LED (light emitting diode) as a light source.

The data driving part 102 samples and latches a digital video data RGB under the timing controller 101. The data driving part 102 converts the latched digital video data into a positive or a negative polarity analog data voltage using a positive or a negative polarity gamma compensating voltage, and outputs the positive or negative polarity analog data voltage to the data lines 104. The positive or negative polarity analog data voltage output from the data driving part 102 is synchronized with the gate pulse signal output from the gate driving part 103. Each of source drive ICs (integrated chips) in the data driving part 102 is connected to the data lines 104 of the liquid crystal display panel 100 by COG (chip-on-glass) process or TAP (tape automated bonding) process. The source drive ICs may be integrated into the timing controller 101 so that they are formed in one chip type.

The gate driving part 103 sequentially outputs gate pulses (or scan pulses) in a display mode under the timing controller 101, and shifts a swing voltage of the gate pulse between a gate high voltage VGH and a gate low voltage.

The gate high voltage VGH is more than a threshold voltage of the thin film transistor T, and the gate low voltage VGL is less than the threshold voltage of the thin film transistor T. Gate drive ICs in the gate driving part 103 are connected to the gate lines 105 of the second substrate GLS2 in the liquid crystal display panel 100 by the TAP process. Alternatively, the gate drive ICs in the gate driving part 103 are directly formed on the second substrate GLS2 with the pixels in the liquid crystal display panel 100 by GIP (Gate In Panel) process.

The timing controller 101 generates timing control signals to control operational timings of the data driving part 102 and the gate driving part 103 using timing signals output from a host computer 120. The timing control signals includes data timing control signals for controlling the operational timings of the data driving part 102 and gate timing control signals for controlling the operational timings of the gate driving part 103.

The gate timing control signals include a gate start pulse GSP, a gate shift clock GSC, a gate output enable signal GOE and so on. The gate start pulse GSP is applied to a first gate drive IC which outputs gate pulse at first for each frame period to control a shift start timing of the first gate drive IC. The gate shift clock GSC is a clock signal commonly input to the gate drive ICs of the gate driving part 103 to shift the gate start pulse GSP. The gate output enable signal GOE controls the output timing of the gate drive ICs in the gate driving part 103.

The data timing control signals includes a source start pulse SSP, a source sampling clock SSC, a polarity control signal POL, a source output enable signal SOE and so on. The source start pulse SSP is applied to a first source drive IC which samples data at first in the data driving part 102 to control a data sampling start timing of the first source drive IC. The source sampling clock SSC is clock signal which controls a sampling timing of data in the source drive ICs based on a rising edge or falling edge. The polarity control signal POL controls polarities of data voltages output from the source drive ICs. The source output enable signal SOE controls output timings of the source drive ICs. The source start pulse SSP and the source sampling clock SSC may be omitted if the digital data RGB is input to the data driving part 102 through a mini low voltage differential signaling (mini LVDS) interface.

The power source part 110 includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit, a boost converter, a regulator, a charge pump, a divisional voltage circuit, and a DC-DC converter having an operational amplifier and so on. The power source part 110 regulates the input voltages from the host computer 120 and generates voltages necessary for driving the liquid crystal display panel 101, the data driving part 102, the gate driving part 103, the timing controller 101, and the backlight unit BLU. The voltages output from the power source part 110 includes a high potential power source voltage VDD, the gate high voltage VGH, the gate low voltage VGL, a common voltage Vcom, the positive/negative gamma reference voltages GMA1 to GMAn and the pulse voltage Vtsp and so on.

The timing signals includes a vertical synchronizing signal Vsync, a horizontal synchronizing signal Hsync, a data enable signal DE and a dot clock signal DCLK necessary for driving the display device.

The touch screen panel 200 includes a plurality of first conductive patterns 201 arranged in parallel in a first direction (for example, an X-axis direction) and a plurality of second conductive patterns 203 arranged in parallel in a second direction (for example, Y-axis direction) to intersect with the first direction, and a insulation layer (or insulation patterns) (not shown) formed at intersection region of the first and second conductive patterns 201 and 203 so that the first conductive patterns 201 are not contacted with the second conductive patterns 203.

The first conductive pattern driving circuit 210 sequentially supplies the pulse voltage Vtsp from the power source part 110 to the first conductive patterns 201 of the touch screen panel 200 to scan the first conductive patterns 201. The first conductive pattern driving circuit 210 makes the first conductive patterns 201 to which the pulse voltage Vtsp is not applied to be floated. That is, at the floating condition, there is no electrical path between the floated first conductive patterns 201 and the first conductive pattern driving circuit 210. Therefore, no voltage is applied to the floated first conductive patterns 201.

The first conductive pattern driving circuit 210 also includes a plurality of horizontal line control switches SWH1 to SWHn for supplying the pulse voltage Vtsp to the first conductive patterns 201 response to a scanning control signal from the touch controller 250. Although FIG. 3 shows that the plurality of horizontal line control switches SWH1 to SWHn are disposed between the first conductive pattern driving circuit 210 and the touch screen panel 200, other arrangements can be implemented in accordance with the present invention. For example, the plurality of horizontal line control switches SWH1 to SWHn may be incorporated into the first conductive pattern driving circuit 210 or the touch screen panel 200.

The second conductive pattern driving circuit 230 sequentially supplies the pulse voltage Vtsp from the power source part 110 to the second conductive patterns 203 of the touch screen panel 200 to scan the second conductive patterns 203 after the scanning operation of the first conductive patterns 201 are completed. The second conductive patterns 203 to which the pulse voltage Vtsp is not applied are floated. The second conductive pattern driving circuit 230 includes a plurality of vertical line control switches SWV1 to SWVm for supplying the pulse voltage Vtsp to the second conductive patterns 203 response to a scanning control signal from the touch controller 250. Although FIG. 3 shows that the plurality of vertical line control switches SWV1 to SWVm are disposed between the second conductive pattern driving circuit 230 and the touch screen panel 200, this invention is not limited thereto. For example, the plurality of vertical line control switches SWV1 to SWVn may be incorporated into the second conductive pattern driving circuit 230 or the touch screen panel 200.

The touch controller 250 supplies the scanning control signals to the first and second conductive pattern driving circuits 210 and 230 to drive the touch screen panel 200. In the exemplary embodiment described above, although the touch controller 250 is independently formed, this invention is not limited thereto. For example, the touch controller 250 may be incorporated into the host computer 120.

The touch perceiving processor 270 is connected with the first and second conductive patterns 201 and 203 to differentially amplify initial voltages corresponding to initial electrostatic capacitances of the first and second conductive patterns 201 and 203 when the touch screen panel is not touched and touch voltages corresponding to touch electrostatic capacitances of the first and second conductive patterns 201 and 203 when the touch screen panel is touched, and convert the amplified initial and touch voltages into digital data. Based on a difference between the initial voltage and the touch voltage, the touch perceiving processor 270 determines a touch position of the touch screen panel by using a touch perceiving algorithm, and outputs a touch coordinate data indicating the touch position to the touch controller 250.

The common voltage feedback circuit 290 receives the pulse voltage Vtsp supplied from the power source part 110 via the first conductive pattern driving circuit 210, and also receives a present common voltage from the common electrode COM. Hereinafter, a voltage supplied from the power source part 110 to the common electrode COM is referred to as a first common voltage Vcom, the present common voltage supplied from the common electrode COM to the common voltage feedback circuit 290 is referred to as a second common voltage Vcom_p, and a feedback voltage supplied to the common electrode COM through the common voltage is referred to as a third common voltage Vcom_out.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the common voltage feedback circuit 290 receives the pulse voltage Vtsp supplied from the power source 110 through the first conductive pattern driving circuit 210. However, this invention is not limited thereto. For example, the common voltage feedback circuit 290 may receives the pulse voltage Vtsp supplied from the power source 110 through the second conductive pattern driving circuit 230. Otherwise, the common voltage feedback circuit 290 may receives the pulse voltage Vtsp supplied from the power source 110 through both the first and the second conductive pattern driving circuits 210 and 230.

The common voltage feedback circuit 290 is implemented by a differential circuit as shown in FIG. 6. The common voltage feedback circuit 290 includes a capacitor C1 and a first resistor R1 connected to each other in serial between an output terminal of the first conductive pattern driving circuit 210 and a first node N1. The common voltage feedback circuit 290 also includes an operational amplifier OP having a non-inversion terminal+for receiving the second common voltage Vcom_p from the common electrode COM, an inversion terminal connected to the first node N1, and an output terminal The common voltage feedback circuit 290 also includes a second resistor R2 connected between the first node N1 and a second node N2 which is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier OP.

In the display device having the touch screen panel, a parasitic capacitance is generated between the common electrode COM and the first and second conductive patterns 201 and 203 when the touch screen panel is touched and operated. Accordingly, a noise having the same frequency as the pulse voltage Vtsp is induced to the common electrode COM.

The common voltage feedback circuit 290 is implemented by the differential circuit using the operational amplifier OP. The common voltage feedback circuit 290 generates the third common voltage Vcom_out which removes a noise component from the second voltage Vcom_p.

Hereinafter, will be described with reference to FIG. 6. The first resistor R1 and the capacitor C1 functions as a low pass filter to reduce high frequency gain of the pulse voltage Vtsp supplied from the first conductive pattern driving circuit 210 or the second conductive pattern driving circuit 230 and output it as a voltage Vin. The voltage Vin is obtained from the following equation 1.

$\begin{matrix} {V_{IN} = {{I_{IN}\left( {R_{1} + \frac{1}{C_{1}}} \right)}t}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}\mspace{14mu} 1} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

It is possible to obtain current I_(IN) flowing through the first node N1 according to equation 2 obtained from the equation 1.

$\begin{matrix} {I_{IN} = {{\frac{V_{IN}}{t}\left( \frac{1}{R_{1} + \frac{1}{C_{1}}} \right)} = {\frac{V_{IN}}{t}\left( \frac{C_{1}}{1 + {R_{1}C_{1}}} \right)}}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}\mspace{14mu} 2} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

It is possible to obtain the third common voltage Vcom_out from the common voltage feedback circuit 290 according to equation 3 because the current I_(IN) flows through the second resistor R2.

$\begin{matrix} {{Vcom\_ out} = {{I_{IN}R_{2}} = {{- \left( \frac{V_{IN}}{t} \right)}\left( \frac{C_{1}R_{2}}{1 + {R_{1}C_{1}}} \right)}}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}\mspace{14mu} 3} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

In the equations 1 to 3, V_(IN) represents the voltage reducing the high frequency gain of the pulse voltage Vtsp supplied from the first conductive pattern driving circuit 210 or the second conductive pattern driving circuit 230. Also, C1 represents capacitance of the capacitor C1, R1 represents resistance of the first resistor R1, R2 represents resistance of the second resistor R2, I_(N) represents current flowing through the second resistor R2, and Vcom_out represents the third common voltage output from the common voltage feedback circuit 290.

FIG. 7 is waveform diagrams illustrating a waveform of the pulse voltage Vtsp supplied to the common voltage feedback circuit 290, a waveform of an induction voltage induced to the common electrode COM by the pulse voltage Vtsp, a waveform of an offset voltage canceling the induction voltage by the operation amplifier OP of the common voltage feedback circuit 290, and a waveform of the third common voltage Vcom_out output from the common voltage feedback circuit 290. Although a parasitic capacitance is generated by the common electrode COM and the first and second conductive patterns 201 and 203 of the touch screen panel 200, as known from the waveform diagrams of FIG. 7, it is possible to supply a stable output voltage to the common electrode COM because the third common voltage Vcom_out supplied to the common electrode COM has not the induction voltage component.

According to the exemplary embodiments described herein, a display device having a touch screen panel can stabilize the output voltage supplied to the common electrode by canceling the induction voltage induced to the common electrode COM due to the pulse voltage Vtsp using the offset voltage.

In the above-mentioned embodiments, although the liquid crystal display device having a touch screen panel is described as one example, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the invention may be applied to a display device including a liquid crystal display (LCD), a field emission display (FED), an electroluminescence device (EL), an electrophoretic display (EPD), etc, if they have a common electrode.
